F. Weymouth + + + + +Book 54 1 Timothy + +001:001 Paul, an Apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God our Saviour + and Christ Jesus our hope: + +001:002 To Timothy, my own true son in the faith. May grace, + mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and + Christ Jesus our Lord. + +001:003 When I was on my journey to Macedonia I begged you to remain + on in Ephesus that you might remonstrate with certain persons + because of their erroneous teaching + +001:004 and the attention they bestow on mere fables and endless pedigrees, + such as lead to controversy rather than to a true stewardship + for God, which only exists where there is faith. + And I make the same request now. + +001:005 But the end sought to be secured by exhortation is the love + which springs from a pure heart, a clear conscience and + a sincere faith. + +001:006 From these some have drifted away, and have wandered + into empty words. + +001:007 They are ambitious to be teachers of the Law, although they + do not understand either their own words or what the things + are about which they make such confident assertions. + +001:008 Now we know that the Law is good, if a man uses it in the way + it should be used, + +001:009 and remembers that a law is not enacted to control a righteous man, + but for the lawless and rebellious, the irreligious and sinful, + the godless and profane--for those who strike their fathers + or their mothers, for murderers, + +001:010 fornicators, sodomites, slave-dealers, liars and false witnesses; + and for whatever else is opposed to wholesome teaching + +001:011 and is not in accordance with the Good News of the blessed + God with which I have been entrusted. + +001:012 I am thankful to Him who made me strong--even Christ Jesus + our Lord--because He has judged me to be faithful and has + put me into His service, + +001:013 though I was previously a blasphemer and a persecutor + and had been insolent in outrage. Yet mercy was shown me, + because I had acted ignorantly, not having as yet believed; + +001:014 and the grace of our Lord came to me in overflowing fulness, + conferring faith on me and the love which is in Christ Jesus. + +001:015 Faithful is the saying, and deserving of universal acceptance, + that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; + among whom I stand foremost. + +001:016 But mercy was shown me in order that in me as the foremost + of sinners Christ Jesus might display the fulness of His + long-suffering patience as an example to encourage those who + would afterwards be resting their faith on Him with a view + to the Life of the Ages. + +001:017 Now to the immortal and invisible King of the Ages, who alone + is God, be honour and glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen. + +001:018 This is the charge which I entrust to you, my son Timothy, + in accordance with the inspired instructions concerning you + which were given me long ago, that being equipped with them + as your armour you may be continually fighting the good fight, + +001:019 holding fast to faith and a clear conscience, which some have + cast aside and have made shipwreck of their faith. + +001:020 Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered + to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme. + +002:001 I exhort then, first of all, that supplications, prayers, + intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men; + +002:002 including kings and all who are in high station, in order + that we may live peaceful and tranquil lives with all + godliness and gravity. + +002:003 This is right, and is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour, + +002:004 who is willing for all mankind to be saved and come to a full + knowledge of the truth. + +002:005 For there is but one God and but one Mediator between God and men-- + Christ Jesus, Himself man; + +002:006 who gave Himself as the redemption price for all--a fact + testified to at its own appointed time, + +002:007 and of which I have been appointed a herald and an Apostle (I am + speaking the truth: it is not a fiction), a teacher of + the Gentiles in faith and truth. + +002:008 So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God + holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife; + +002:009 and I would have the women dress becomingly, with modesty + and self-control, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls + or costly clothes, + +002:010 but--as befits women making a claim to godliness-- + with the ornament of good works. + +002:011 A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness. + +002:012 I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, + but she must remain silent. + +002:013 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve; + +002:014 and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived, + and so became involved in transgression. + +002:015 Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth + if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love + and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint. + +003:001 Faithful is the saying, "If any one is eager to have the oversight + of a Church, he desires a noble work." + +003:002 A minister then must be a man of irreproachable character, + true to his one wife, temperate, sober-minded, well-behaved, + hospitable to strangers, and with a gift for teaching; + +003:003 not a hard drinker nor given to blows; not selfish or + quarrelsome or covetous; + +003:004 but ruling his own household wisely and well, with children + kept under control with true dignity. + +003:005 (If a man does not know how to rule his own household, + how shall he have the Church of God given into his care?) + +003:006 He ought not to be a new convert, for fear he should be blinded + with pride and come under the same condemnation as the Devil. + +003:007 It is needful also that he bear a good character with people + outside the Church, lest he fall into reproach or a snare + of the Devil. + +003:008 Deacons, in the same way, must be men of serious demeanour, + not double-tongued, nor addicted to much wine, nor greedy + of base gain, + +003:009 but holding the secret truths of the faith with a clear conscience. + +003:010 And they must also be well-tried men, and when found to be + of unblemished character then let them serve as deacons. + +003:011 Deaconesses, in the same way, must be sober-minded women, + not slanderers, but in every way temperate and trustworthy. + +003:012 A deacon must be true to his one wife, and rule his children + and his own household wisely and well. + +003:013 For those who have filled the deacon's office wisely and well, + are already gaining for themselves an honourable standing, + and are acquiring great freedom of speech in proclaiming + the faith which rests on Christ Jesus. + +003:014 All this I write to you, though I am hoping before long to come + to see you. + +003:015 But, for fear I may be hindered, I now write, so that you + may have rules to guide you in dealing with God's household. + For this is what the Church of the ever-living God is, + and it is the pillar and foundation-stone of the truth. + +003:016 And, beyond controversy, great is the mystery of our religion-- + that Christ appeared in human form, and His claims justified + by the Spirit, was seen by angels and proclaimed among + Gentile nations, was believed on in the world, and received + up again into glory. + +004:001 Now the Spirit expressly declares that in later times some will + fall away from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits + and the teachings of demons; + +004:002 through the hypocrisy of men who teach falsely and have their + own consciences seared as with a hot iron; + +004:003 forbidding people to marry, and insisting on abstinence from foods + which God has created to be partaken of, with thankfulness, + by those who believe and have a clear knowledge of the truth. + +004:004 For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is + to be cast aside, if only it is received with thanksgiving. + +004:005 For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer. + +004:006 If you warn the brethren of these dangers you will be a good and + faithful servant of Christ Jesus, inwardly feeding on the lessons + of the faith and of the sound teaching of which you have been, + and are, so close a follower. + +004:007 But worldly stories, fit only for credulous old women, + have nothing to do with. + +004:008 Train yourself in godliness. Exercise for the body is not useless, + but godliness is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, + the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming. + +004:009 Faithful is this saying and deserving of universal acceptance: + +004:010 and here is the motive of our toiling and wrestling, + because we have our hopes fixed on the ever-living God, + who is the Saviour of all mankind, and especially of believers. + +004:011 Command this and teach this. + +004:012 Let no one think slightingly of you because you are a young man; + but in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, be an example + for your fellow Christians to imitate. + +004:013 Till I come, bestow your attention on reading, + exhortation and teaching. + +004:014 Do not be careless about the gifts with which you are endowed, + which were conferred on you through a divine revelation + when the hands of the elders were placed upon you. + +004:015 Habitually practise these duties, and be absorbed in them; + so that your growing proficiency in them may be evident to all. + +004:016 Be on your guard as to yourself and your teaching. + Persevere in these things; for by doing this you will make + certain your own salvation and that of your hearers. + +005:001 Never administer a sharp reprimand to a man older than yourself; + but entreat him as if he were your father, and the younger + men as brothers; + +005:002 the elder women too as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, + with perfect modesty. + +005:003 Honour widows who are really in need. + +005:004 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn + first to show piety towards their own homes and to prove + their gratitude to their parents; for this is well pleasing + in the sight of God. + +005:005 A widow who is really in need, friendless and desolate, + has her hopes fixed on God, and continues at her supplications + and prayers, night and day; + +005:006 but a pleasure-loving widow is dead even while still alive. + +005:007 Press these facts upon them, so that they may live lives + free from reproach. + +005:008 But if a man makes no provision for those dependent on him, + and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith + and is behaving worse than an unbeliever. + +005:009 No widow is to be put on the roll who is under sixty years of age. + +005:010 She must have been true to her one husband, and well + reported of for good deeds, as having brought up children, + received strangers hospitably, washed the feet of God's people, + given relief to the distressed, and devoted herself to good + works of every kind. + +005:011 But the younger widows you must not enrol; for as soon as they + begin to chafe against the yoke of Christ, they want to marry, + +005:012 and they incur disapproval for having broken their original vow. + +005:013 And at the same time they also learn to be idle as they go + round from house to house; and they are not only idle, + but are gossips also and busybodies, speaking of things + that ought not to be spoken of. + +005:014 I would therefore have the younger women marry, bear children, + rule in domestic matters, and furnish the Adversary with no + excuse for slander. + +005:015 For already some of them have gone astray, following Satan. + +005:016 If a believing woman has widows dependent on her, she should + relieve their wants, and save the Church from being burdened-- + so that the Church may relieve the widows who are really in need. + +005:017 Let the Elders who perform their duties wisely and well be + held worthy of double honour, especially those who labour + in preaching and teaching. + +005:018 For the Scripture says, "You are not to muzzle the ox while it + is treading out the grain;" and the workman deserves his pay. + +005:019 Never entertain an accusation against an Elder except on + the evidence of two of three witnesses. + +005:020 Those who persist in sin reprove in the presence of all, + so that it may also be a warning to the rest. + +005:021 I solemnly call upon you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus + and of the elect angels, to carry out these instructions + of mine without prejudice, and to do nothing from partiality. + +005:022 Do not ordain any one hastily; and do not be a partaker + in the sins of others; keep *yourself* pure. + +005:023 (No longer be a water-drinker; but take a little wine for the sake + of your digestion and your frequent ailments.) + +005:024 The sins of some men are evident to the world, leading the way + to your estimate of their characters, but the sins of + others lag behind. + +005:025 So also the right actions of some are evident to the world, + and those that are not cannot remain for ever out of sight. + +006:001 Let all who are under the yoke of slavery hold their own + masters to be deserving of honour, so that the name of God + and the Christian teaching may not be spoken against. + +006:002 And those who have believing masters should not be wanting + in respect towards them because they are their brethren, + but should serve them all the more willingly because those + who profit by the faithful service rendered are believers + and are friends. + +006:003 So teach and exhort. If any one is a teacher of any other kind + of doctrine, and refuses assent to wholesome instructions-- + those of our Lord Jesus Christ--and the teaching that harmonizes + with true godliness, + +006:004 he is puffed up with pride and has no true knowledge, but is + crazy over discussions and controversies about words which give + rise to envy, quarrelling, revilings, ill-natured suspicions, + +006:005 and persistent wranglings on the part of people whose intellects + are disordered and they themselves blinded to all knowledge + of the truth; who imagine that godliness means gain. + +006:006 And godliness *is* gain, when associated with contentment; + +006:007 for we brought nothing into the world, nor can we carry anything + out of it; + +006:008 and if we have food and clothing, with these we will be satisfied. + +006:009 But people who are determined to be rich fall into temptation + and a snare, and into many unwise and pernicious ways which sink + mankind in destruction and ruin. + +006:010 For from love of money all sorts of evils arise; and some have + so hankered after money as to be led astray from the faith + and be pierced through with countless sorrows. + +006:011 But you, O man of God, must flee from these things; and strive + for uprightness, godliness, good faith, love, fortitude, + and a forgiving temper. + +006:012 Exert all your strength in the honourable struggle for the faith; + lay hold of the Life of the Ages, to which you were called, + when you made your noble profession of faith before many witnesses. + +006:013 I charge you--as in the presence of God who gives life + to all creatures, and of Christ Jesus who at the bar of + Pontius Pilate made a noble profession of faith-- + +006:014 that you keep God's commandments stainlessly and without + reproach till the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. + +006:015 For, as its appointed time, this will be brought about by the blessed + and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, + +006:016 who alone possesses immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, + and whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be eternal honour + and power! Amen. + +006:017 Impress on those who are rich in the present age that they + must not be haughty nor set their hopes on riches-- + that unstable foundation--but on God who provides us richly + with all things for our enjoyment. + +006:018 They must be beneficent, rich in noble deeds, open-handed and liberal; + +006:019 storing up for themselves that which shall be a solid + foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of the Life + which is life indeed. + +006:020 O Timothy, guard the truths entrusted to you, shunning + irreligious and frivolous talk, and controversy with what is + falsely called `knowledge'; + +006:021 of which some have spoken boastfully in connexion with the true faith, + and have erred. Grace be with you all. + + + + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Weymouth New Testament in Modern +Speech, 1 Timothy, by R. F.

May grace, + mercy and peace be granted to you from God the Father and + Christ Jesus our Lord. +001:003 When I was on my journey to Macedonia I begged you to remain + on in Ephesus that you might remonstrate with certain persons + because of their erroneous teaching +001:004 and the attention they bestow on mere fables and endless pedigrees, + such as lead to controversy rather than to a true stewardship + for God, which only exists where there is faith. + And I make the same request now. +001:005 But the end sought to be secured by exhortation is the love + which springs from a pure heart, a clear conscience and + a sincere faith. +001:006 From these some have drifted away, and have wandered + into empty words. +001:007 They are ambitious to be teachers of the Law, although they + do not understand either their own words or what the things + are about which they make such confident assertions. +001:008 Now we know that the Law is good, if a man uses it in the way + it should be used, +001:009 and remembers that a law is not enacted to control a righteous man, + but for the lawless and rebellious, the irreligious and sinful, + the godless and profane--for those who strike their fathers + or their mothers, for murderers, +001:010 fornicators, sodomites, slave-dealers, liars and false witnesses; + and for whatever else is opposed to wholesome teaching +001:011 and is not in accordance with the Good News of the blessed + God with which I have been entrusted. +001:012 I am thankful to Him who made me strong--even Christ Jesus + our Lord--because He has judged me to be faithful and has + put me into His service, +001:013 though I was previously a blasphemer and a persecutor + and had been insolent in outrage. Yet mercy was shown me, + because I had acted ignorantly, not having as yet believed; +001:014 and the grace of our Lord came to me in overflowing fulness, + conferring faith on me and the love which is in Christ Jesus. +001:015 Faithful is the saying, and deserving of universal acceptance, + that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; + among whom I stand foremost. +001:016 But mercy was shown me in order that in me as the foremost + of sinners Christ Jesus might display the fulness of His + long-suffering patience as an example to encourage those who + would afterwards be resting their faith on Him with a view + to the Life of the Ages. +001:017 Now to the immortal and invisible King of the Ages, who alone + is God, be honour and glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen. +001:018 This is the charge which I entrust to you, my son Timothy, + in accordance with the inspired instructions concerning you + which were given me long ago, that being equipped with them + as your armour you may be continually fighting the good fight, +001:019 holding fast to faith and a clear conscience, which some have + cast aside and have made shipwreck of their faith. +001:020 Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered + to Satan so that they may be taught not to blaspheme. +002:001 I exhort then, first of all, that supplications, prayers, + intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men; +002:002 including kings and all who are in high station, in order + that we may live peaceful and tranquil lives with all + godliness and gravity. +002:003 This is right, and is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour, +002:004 who is willing for all mankind to be saved and come to a full + knowledge of the truth. +002:005 For there is but one God and but one Mediator between God and men-- + Christ Jesus, Himself man; +002:006 who gave Himself as the redemption price for all--a fact + testified to at its own appointed time, +002:007 and of which I have been appointed a herald and an Apostle (I am + speaking the truth: it is not a fiction), a teacher of + the Gentiles in faith and truth. +002:008 So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God + holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife; +002:009 and I would have the women dress becomingly, with modesty + and self-control, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls + or costly clothes, +002:010 but--as befits women making a claim to godliness-- + with the ornament of good works. +002:011 A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness. +002:012 I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, + but she must remain silent. +002:013 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve; +002:014 and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived, + and so became involved in transgression. +002:015 Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth + if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love + and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint. +003:001 Faithful is the saying, "If any one is eager to have the oversight + of a Church, he desires a noble work." +003:002 A minister then must be a man of irreproachable character, + true to his one wife, temperate, sober-minded, well-behaved, + hospitable to strangers, and with a gift for teaching; +003:003 not a hard drinker nor given to blows; not selfish or + quarrelsome or covetous; +003:004 but ruling his own household wisely and well, with children + kept under control with true dignity. +003:005 (If a man does not know how to rule his own household, + how shall he have the Church of God given into his care?) +003:006 He ought not to be a new convert, for fear he should be blinded + with pride and come under the same condemnation as the Devil. +003:007 It is needful also that he bear a good character with people + outside the Church, lest he fall into reproach or a snare + of the Devil. +003:008 Deacons, in the same way, must be men of serious demeanour, + not double-tongued, nor addicted to much wine, nor greedy + of base gain, +003:009 but holding the secret truths of the faith with a clear conscience. +003:010 And they must also be well-tried men, and when found to be + of unblemished character then let them serve as deacons. +003:011 Deaconesses, in the same way, must be sober-minded women, + not slanderers, but in every way temperate and trustworthy. +003:012 A deacon must be true to his one wife, and rule his children + and his own household wisely and well. +003:013 For those who have filled the deacon's office wisely and well, + are already gaining for themselves an honourable standing, + and are acquiring great freedom of speech in proclaiming + the faith which rests on Christ Jesus. +003:014 All this I write to you, though I am hoping before long to come + to see you. +003:015 But, for fear I may be hindered, I now write, so that you + may have rules to guide you in dealing with God's household. + For this is what the Church of the ever-living God is, + and it is the pillar and foundation-stone of the truth. +003:016 And, beyond controversy, great is the mystery of our religion-- + that Christ appeared in human form, and His claims justified + by the Spirit, was seen by angels and proclaimed among + Gentile nations, was believed on in the world, and received + up again into glory. +004:001 Now the Spirit expressly declares that in later times some will + fall away from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits + and the teachings of demons; +004:002 through the hypocrisy of men who teach falsely and have their + own consciences seared as with a hot iron; +004:003 forbidding people to marry, and insisting on abstinence from foods + which God has created to be partaken of, with thankfulness, + by those who believe and have a clear knowledge of the truth. +004:004 For everything that God has created is good, and nothing is + to be cast aside, if only it is received with thanksgiving. +004:005 For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer. +004:006 If you warn the brethren of these dangers you will be a good and + faithful servant of Christ Jesus, inwardly feeding on the lessons + of the faith and of the sound teaching of which you have been, + and are, so close a follower. +004:007 But worldly stories, fit only for credulous old women, + have nothing to do with. +004:008 Train yourself in godliness. Exercise for the body is not useless, + but godliness is useful in every respect, possessing, as it does, + the promise of Life now and of the Life which is soon coming. +004:009 Faithful is this saying and deserving of universal acceptance: +004:010 and here is the motive of our toiling and wrestling, + because we have our hopes fixed on the ever-living God, + who is the Saviour of all mankind, and especially of believers. +004:011 Command this and teach this. +004:012 Let no one think slightingly of you because you are a young man; + but in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, be an example + for your fellow Christians to imitate. +004:013 Till I come, bestow your attention on reading, + exhortation and teaching. +004:014 Do not be careless about the gifts with which you are endowed, + which were conferred on you through a divine revelation + when the hands of the elders were placed upon you. +004:015 Habitually practise these duties, and be absorbed in them; + so that your growing proficiency in them may be evident to all. +004:016 Be on your guard as to yourself and your teaching. + Persevere in these things; for by doing this you will make + certain your own salvation and that of your hearers. +005:001 Never administer a sharp reprimand to a man older than yourself; + but entreat him as if he were your father, and the younger + men as brothers; +005:002 the elder women too as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, + with perfect modesty. +005:003 Honour widows who are really in need. +005:004 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let these learn + first to show piety towards their own homes and to prove + their gratitude to their parents; for this is well pleasing + in the sight of God. +005:005 A widow who is really in need, friendless and desolate, + has her hopes fixed on God, and continues at her supplications + and prayers, night and day; +005:006 but a pleasure-loving widow is dead even while still alive. +005:007 Press these facts upon them, so that they may live lives + free from reproach. +005:008 But if a man makes no provision for those dependent on him, + and especially for his own family, he has disowned the faith + and is behaving worse than an unbeliever. +005:009 No widow is to be put on the roll who is under sixty years of age. +005:010 She must have been true to her one husband, and well + reported of for good deeds, as having brought up children, + received strangers hospitably, washed the feet of God's people, + given relief to the distressed, and devoted herself to good + works of every kind. +005:011 But the younger widows you must not enrol; for as soon as they + begin to chafe against the yoke of Christ, they want to marry, +005:012 and they incur disapproval for having broken their original vow. +005:013 And at the same time they also learn to be idle as they go + round from house to house; and they are not only idle, + but are gossips also and busybodies, speaking of things + that ought not to be spoken of. +005:014 I would therefore have the younger women marry, bear children, + rule in domestic matters, and furnish the Adversary with no + excuse for slander. +005:015 For already some of them have gone astray, following Satan. +005:016 If a believing woman has widows dependent on her, she should + relieve their wants, and save the Church from being burdened-- + so that the Church may relieve the widows who are really in need. +005:017 Let the Elders who perform their duties wisely and well be + held worthy of double honour, especially those who labour + in preaching and teaching. +005:018 For the Scripture says, "You are not to muzzle the ox while it + is treading out the grain;" and the workman deserves his pay. +005:019 Never entertain an accusation against an Elder except on + the evidence of two of three witnesses. +005:020 Those who persist in sin reprove in the presence of all, + so that it may also be a warning to the rest. +005:021 I solemnly call upon you, in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus + and of the elect angels, to carry out these instructions + of mine without prejudice, and to do nothing from partiality. +005:022 Do not ordain any one hastily; and do not be a partaker + in the sins of others; keep *yourself* pure. +005:023 (No longer be a water-drinker; but take a little wine for the sake + of your digestion and your frequent ailments.) +005:024 The sins of some men are evident to the world, leading the way + to your estimate of their characters, but the sins of + others lag behind. +005:025 So also the right actions of some are evident to the world, + and those that are not cannot remain for ever out of sight. +006:001 Let all who are under the yoke of slavery hold their own + masters to be deserving of honour, so that the name of God + and the Christian teaching may not be spoken against. +006:002 And those who have believing masters should not be wanting + in respect towards them because they are their brethren, + but should serve them all the more willingly because those + who profit by the faithful service rendered are believers + and are friends. +006:003 So teach and exhort. If any one is a teacher of any other kind + of doctrine, and refuses assent to wholesome instructions-- + those of our Lord Jesus Christ--and the teaching that harmonizes + with true godliness, +006:004 he is puffed up with pride and has no true knowledge, but is + crazy over discussions and controversies about words which give + rise to envy, quarrelling, revilings, ill-natured suspicions, +006:005 and persistent wranglings on the part of people whose intellects + are disordered and they themselves blinded to all knowledge + of the truth; who imagine that godliness means gain. +006:006 And godliness *is* gain, when associated with contentment; +006:007 for we brought nothing into the world, nor can we carry anything + out of it; +006:008 and if we have food and clothing, with these we will be satisfied. +006:009 But people who are determined to be rich fall into temptation + and a snare, and into many unwise and pernicious ways which sink + mankind in destruction and ruin. +006:010 For from love of money all sorts of evils arise; and some have + so hankered after money as to be led astray from the faith + and be pierced through with countless sorrows. +006:011 But you, O man of God, must flee from these things; and strive + for uprightness, godliness, good faith, love, fortitude, + and a forgiving temper. +006:012 Exert all your strength in the honourable struggle for the faith; + lay hold of the Life of the Ages, to which you were called, + when you made your noble profession of faith before many witnesses. +006:013 I charge you--as in the presence of God who gives life + to all creatures, and of Christ Jesus who at the bar of + Pontius Pilate made a noble profession of faith-- +006:014 that you keep God's commandments stainlessly and without + reproach till the Appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ. +006:015 For, as its appointed time, this will be brought about by the blessed + and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, +006:016 who alone possesses immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, + and whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be eternal honour + and power! Amen. +006:017 Impress on those who are rich in the present age that they + must not be haughty nor set their hopes on riches-- + that unstable foundation--but on God who provides us richly + with all things for our enjoyment. +006:018 They must be beneficent, rich in noble deeds, open-handed and liberal; +006:019 storing up for themselves that which shall be a solid + foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of the Life + which is life indeed. +006:020 O Timothy, guard the truths entrusted to you, shunning + irreligious and frivolous talk, and controversy with what is + falsely called `knowledge'; +006:021 of which some have spoken boastfully in connexion with the true faith, + and have erred. Grace be with you all. + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, 1 Timothy *** + +This file should be named wnt1510.txt or wnt1510.zip +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks get a new NUMBER, wnt1511.txt +VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, wnt1510a.txt + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
